Geelong Race 5 - Beachside Security
ZEALOUS REIKO (6) had a low draw latest where she found trouble and fell over 450m at Ballarat. Has the ability and can bounce back. REIKO BOOM (2) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 1.3 lengths second (26.11) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Must be included in calculations. ASTON NIJINSKY (3) found trouble in the run here last time and failed to finish. Should be in this for a long way. PLUTONIC (7) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.3 lengths second over 460m this track in 26.11. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.46) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
